Rommel had previously commanded mountain infantry, and he had no experience commanding panzer units, and Hitler's appointment of Rommel as commander of Germany's invaluable panzer divisions required a great deal of trust.

After Rommel left, War Minister Blenberg implicitly questioned Hitler, who was a die-hard supporter of Hitler and did not usually go against Hitler's will, but this time he did not approve of sending Rommel to be the commander of an armored division.

"The military command of my Führer, Colonel Rommel, was evident in the First World War, and his greatest achievement was the capture of more than 10,000 French troops with a single infantry company.

But Rommel had been serving in the infantry for all these years, so I thought it would be much safer to send Rommel to be the commander of an infantry division than to risk putting Rommel in the position of commander of an armored division. ”

Hitler was a very stubborn man, he decided that things were absolutely difficult to change, and his style was completely like saying you can do it, you can do it, and saying you can't do it. And Hitler would have looked for all sorts of reasons to justify his views.

"Field Marshal Brembourg, since the defeat of our Germany in World War I, we have been restricted by the Treaty of Versailles, and our Germany is not even allowed to produce artillery, let alone a sharp weapon like a tank, so our tank commanders are extremely scarce.

Since we lack tank commanders, we should vigorously train capable officers, put them in armored divisions, temper them through actual combat, and let them grow into excellent armored division commanders, right? ”

Hitler really said it very well, and the idea of tempering commanders with actual combat was even more ahead of the times, and as Minister of War and Minister of Defense, Blenburg could not find any reason to refute Hitler's reasoning, and Rommel's desire to command an armored division was about to be realized.

In fact, at the beginning of World War II, Hitler was not yet overwhelmed by victory, and he was able to listen to the opinions of others, not to the point of arbitrariness, and his relationship with the Wehrmacht was not incompatible.

……

When Rommel returned to the Führer's Guard station, he immediately gave the order to assemble and prepare for departure, but there was one thing that made Rommel hesitate a little, that is, whether to call his wife Lucy.

Rommel's feelings for Lucy are extremely deep, and it is extremely common to write letters or call Lucy, but now Rommel has been crossed, and he really has no feelings for Lucy, a cheap wife.

Rommel couldn't do the thing of abandoning his wife, he couldn't leave and couldn't leave, he couldn't get together, and if Lucy noticed something, it would be troublesome.

Rommel picked up the phone several times, put it down several times, he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, and finally he still mustered up the courage to make a call to Lucy, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was better to face it bravely.

"Hey...... Dear Lucy......"

When Rommel said this, he suddenly got stuck, and Rommel couldn't say a word when he was gentle and ambiguous, he just held the phone in a daze, and an anxious voice came from the phone:

"What's wrong with my dear Rommel, what's wrong with your voice, is there something hiding from me......"

A woman's senses are always keen, and the slightest habitual change in Rommel's voice immediately aroused Lucy's alarm, which really startled Rommel who crossed over, and didn't know how to face this situation.

"Oooh! …… I, I'm going to the front soon, I'll leave in the afternoon, probably because I'm nervous......"

Rommel can only use his own front line to prevaricate Lucy, and it is common sense that the person who wants to come forward is a little nervous.

"My dear, as a soldier, fighting for the country, that is your honor, and I will feel the honor of you......"

The Germans at this time, all of them were completely instigated by Hitler, and they all believed that their Führer could lead them to victory, restore Germany to its former glory, and regain the territory lost by Germany in the First World War. It seems that Rommel's wife, Lucy, is also such a person who has been brainwashed by the Nazis.

"Well, I know, please wait for the news of my triumphant return."

Rommel didn't dare to say anything to Lucido, and after a few hurried words, he immediately hung up the phone.

Rommel was really afraid that he would go out of his way if he talked too much, and after Lucy received a call from Rommel, the doubts in her heart became more and more serious, and after decades of husband and wife, Lucy really knew Rommel too well.

Today's call from Rommel made Lucy feel Rommel's greeting, just like an ordinary friend's greeting, if it weren't for the fact that the voice was still Rommel's, Lucy almost suspected that someone was pretending to be Rommel to fool herself.

"Did that Rommel guy have a lover?"

The thought grew like a weed in Lucy's mind, and it tormented Lucy to the point of sleep. Lucy, who lives in Hellingen, a small town near Ulm, decides to go to Berlin immediately, she doesn't believe Rommel had an affair, and she wants to find out the truth of the matter.

Lucy said to go, she hurriedly packed a few changes of clothes, and drove to Berlin by herself, her eleven-year-old son Manfred? Rommel could only be looked after by a nanny, and Lucy drove straight to Berlin in a hurry.

It was more than 500 kilometers in a straight line from Ulm to Berlin, and it was not a wise decision for Lucy to drive to Berlin in such a hurry, but I hope nothing happens.

……

Second Lieutenant Wald was Rommel's adjutant, and the adjutant of the German army could actually be seen as an important link in the career path, which was a German military tradition. In general, the military units will select young officers with potential as training targets to serve as adjutant officers at the command headquarters, and their main work is to observe and learn the operation methods of the command organs at the next higher level, so as to lay a foundation for the future.

After receiving Rommel's order, Wald immediately went to the railway station with Rommel's order to ask the stationmaster for the wagon. What Wald couldn't understand was that he was supposed to go to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, with only 12 or 3 tanks, but Rommel had to bring 100 large trucks.

Now during the Polish campaign, there were a lot of materials to be transported to the front, and the train wagons from Berlin to Warsaw were very tight, and it was not known whether the forty wagons needed by Colonel Rommel could be obtained, and Wald was worried that he would not be able to complete the task.

Wald's fears were completely unnecessary, a copy of the order of the Ministry of Defense had already reached the stationmaster, and how important it was for Hitler to go to Warsaw to inspect it, even with the help of the stationmaster's 10,000 guts, he did not dare to intercept the forty wagons that Rommel wanted, and besides, Poland had surrendered, there was only some sporadic resistance throughout Poland, the ammunition consumed at the front was greatly reduced, and the wagons sent from Berlin to Warsaw were no longer so scarce.
